There's a whole stream of projector's out now after the Optoma HD20 broke the 1080p market a while back but I've been holding out for a long time and figured now would be a good time to buy. The specs are excellent, this is an upgrade to the best of last year for the price range. Nice blacks, excellent control over positioning, cheap and long lasting lamps etc.

So you got this instead of an LCD television? You need a big black wall (or a big white wall in the dark) where this is going to project at. It's a good solution when moving a lot (England<->Spain). Easier to carry than a LCD tv I guess, although 7,3 kg is quite heavy.

Wow! I'm so impressed with this... I don't have a dark room, nor a monitor, fired it up, pointed at a white wall, plugged in my laptop, fired up a 1080p mkv... and it looks really awesome, even with these factors in play.

Since the AE4000's picture quality not only surpasses the competitors in its price range, but rivals and in some cases exceeds that of "high-end" models selling for five times the price or more, it warrants a solid 5 stars for performance. Since it has more features than any other home theater projector ever built, 5 stars is not even enough to illustrate its distinction in this category. Similarly, its ease of use is unrivaled-perfect color calibration out of the box in Cinema 1 mode, smart menus that are easy to navigate, lens memory to accommodate 2.40 super wide screen without an anamorphic lens-no other projector has all of these things, and most have none of them.

Loving the project, haven't bought a screen yet, its so bright that it looks good on my white wall, i can see the darks are slightly off though. Need to get my ass in gear and get a spanish distributor to sort me out. I don't think they'll do a screen the size of the image i'm projecting less than £200, i'll have to shrink it!

I *still* haven't bought a screen but at night the projector looks fantastic.

I bought an Acer Revo r3610 and a homeline power for the network, I've setup kubuntu and install XBMC. Decided to keep kubuntu because i run sabnzbd to direct directly to my media player and can compile/etc and use it as a general linux box.

I'm going to investigate streaming pc games to my netbook, i haven't played call of duty modern warfare 2 that i bought ages ago, bet it looks boss on the projector

Hi....i was also considering to buy the Epson EH-TW3500 especially for gaming. Do you consider this projector very good or it gets a pass.....as i have read lots of reviews saying that its colour depth can't quite rival that of the best LCD and DLP models and the black levels are soft...is this true.

I am completely happy with the quality of the EPSON EH-TW3500, the black levels are soft when you compare this to a projector twice the cost but its extremely strong for the price range its in, and the profiles handle this well. Under direct sunlight (I am in spain), it actually performs very well.

seriously, at flat screen the size and quality of my projector would be tens of thousands of dollars. There's a smaller tv down at mediamarkt for €40,000; its smaller and the image quality is worse. TV is dead.

and i'm a lazy bugger and haven't bought a screen yet Looks ace on a white matte wall, its the place to watch movies all my friends tvs don't really get a say in the proceedings... which sucks because they trash my place when they come round.
